Configuring Switches in a Stack

The stack dialog boxes are essentially the same as their corresponding switch
dialog boxes, except that the Select Switch for Initial Configuration drop-down list
is added to each dialog box. The stack dialog boxes display the information for the
switch selected in the Select Switch for Initial Configuration drop-down list. Click
OK to apply the configuration for the selected switch to all other switches in the
stack. The following operations are available to configure the stack as a single
entity:
